What Is a Hostile Work Environment?
A hostile work environment goes beyond the occasional bad day or difficult colleague. It’s a pervasive atmosphere of abuse, intimidation, or hostility that makes it impossible to do your job. This illegal behavior often stems from discrimination based on protected characteristics like race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.
Examples of behavior that fosters a hostile work environment include:
- Offensive jokes and comments: Is your workplace filled with derogatory or humiliating language targeting specific groups?
- Unwelcome touching or gestures: Are you subjected to unwanted physical contact or leering?
- Threats and intimidation: Do you feel unsafe or threatened by colleagues or supervisors?
- Exclusion and isolation: Are you deliberately left out of meetings, projects, or social events?
- Sabotage: Is your work undermined or interfered with?
If any of this sounds familiar, you may be in a hostile work environment. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for a confidential discussion. The law is on your side, and we can help you understand your rights.

"Michael is a true gem!"In the very first five minutes of our conversation about my case, it was evident that Michael is different. We hadn't even started, and Michael was on the case, so well prepared, and so familiar with every aspect of the situation. Michael's informed perspective and knowledge of the industry is clear in every assessment he makes, and his wealth of experience saved me from many potential disasters. I am truly grateful to Michael for his generosity, and for him patiently and clearly explaining the important strategic details that ensured the success of my case.Former Client
